Jeff Pinsker joins University Games in new Executive Vice President role

University Games has welcomed Jeff Pinsker to the newly created role of Executive Vice President.

Pinsker entered the toy industry in 1991 as a product manager at University Games. During his nine-year stay with the company, Pinsker served as a marketing manager, general manager and president of the company.

Since then, Pinsker has worked at Scholastic, Goliath, Spin Master and AMIGO, most recently serving as the President of Mondo. He has also served the industry by sitting on the boards of ASTRA and GAMA, as well as receiving a lifetime achievement award from ASTRA.

“For nine years I worked alongside Jeff and tried to teach him what I had learned – now he returns to University Games and I expect to be the student learning from him,” said Bob Moog, Co-Founder of University Games.

Pinsker added: “My goal is to reinvest myself in University Games and help the current team build a stronger global company. I plan to help Bob and the team any way I can.”
